Learning the Yaku - An attempt to break down the many yaku of Riichi Mahjong in an order that is more accessible to a new player

 

EMA Rules PDF, Fixed - The rules PDF of the European Mahjong Association is, for the most part, a well-written document with nice cover art and typesetting - but it contains a few unfortunate typos:

 

  • Sections 1.1 and 1.2: Incorrect labels for suits and honours
  • Section 4.2.2: Formatting not applied to honroutou header

 

It may be years before the EMA issue a revision, so, with the assistance of PDF manipulation tool qpdf, I have produced a version with those errors corrected.
